She had him had the back luck to break down at around the same time near the same place. In fact, he broke down just as she was about to walk toward the nearest gas station, which was a couple of miles away, he knew. She didn't want to walk with him and he didn't blame her one bit for that. He agreed to keep his distance behind her and he abided by that.

At least, until she fell. He then ran to see if she was okay and he saw a dart sticking out of her neck. By the time he realized the situation, it was far too late for the both of them.

Now here he was, walking away from that house, her still inside screaming and swearing. He understood her rage completely. She had every right to be angry with those people for doing this to them. As for him, he had no problem at all with his new situation though he had to admit walking to that gas station in these heels was not going to be fun at all!
